Same here. I may be wrong, but Gretzky doesn't fit the mold of a teacher which is what you need in re-building.
As a matter of fact, except a bit for the early Sather, I don't think Gretzky has ever been coached by a coach who had to help a team develop. He rather always had vets around him as a player, and the pressure to win a cup. That's all he knows. I dunno why, but I can't imagine him teaching a rookie how to position himself in PK depending on the team he's facing.
